Meeting Description:

The Department of General Linguistics, Stellenbosch University, is proud to be
hosting the sixth annual Southern African Microlinguistics Workshop
(SAMWOP-6). SAMWOP brings together linguists working in the area of Southern
African microlinguistics (broadly defined as linguistics which focuses on the
structure of language as opposed to, for example, its sociological or
educational role in society). This includes researchers based in Southern
Africa working in various areas of theoretical and general linguistics,
including phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax, as well as those based
elsewhere working on, for example, South African Bantu languages, Afrikaans
and Khoisan languages, as well as other African languages, particularly from
neighbouring countries. 

The workshop provides an opportunity for longer presentations and in-depth
discussion, with hour-long time slots available, as well as half-hour slots
for students. SAMWOP is an important forum for research and networking for
junior researchers and students because it is free and fosters a friendly and
collaborative atmosphere through its flexible setup, without parallel
sessions, and time for informal discussion, as well as its relatively small
size. 

As with the previous SAMWOP workshops, a special issue of Stellenbosch Papers
in Linguistics Plus (SPiL Plus) will be set aside to which attendees will be
encouraged to submit their papers. 

Stellenbosch University will provide a venue for the talks, and there will be
no workshop registration fee, but workshop attendees will have to pay their
own way in terms of accommodation and travel. 

In addition to the main workshop, there will be a pre-workshop focusing on the
greatly under-described and critically endangered Khoisan languages that fall
within the Eastern Kalahari division of the Khoe family. Details about the
pre-workshop will be made available separately, but it is envisaged that this
‘jam session’ for the presentation of data on aspects of syntax in various
Khoisan languages that have so far only been described in broad typological
terms, and which now require formal modelling, will take place on 29th
November, with a welcoming function for SAMWOP (pre-)workshop attendees in the
evening.


Call for Papers: 

Please submit your abstract of no more than 500 words, including examples and
references in word or pdf format via EasyAbs
(http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/SAMWOP-6) by 15 September 2017 at midnight
(SAST).

If you are not able to submit on the EasyAbs system, you can also submit your
abstract by emailing it to katevg at sun.ac.za.
